Percutaneous recanalization of a renal artery in aortic dissection

P Lacombe et al. Radiology. 1992 Dec.

Abstract

Chronic renal failure acutely worsened in a patient with a type B aortic dissection. Aortography revealed an occlusion of the left renal artery without renal intimal tear. Percutaneous recanalization, performed with a self-expandable stent, resulted in improvement in the renal function. This technique offers a new therapeutic choice in patients with visceral complications of aortic dissection.
